Google acknowledges it “missed the mark” when it got caught being shady (again).
“Don’t be evil in public” -official Google motto
Pixel 9 influencers, fancy name for paid actors.
It’s even worse, they’re not getting paid. These shills only get rewarded by getting the phones slightly before general availability (but after actual reviewers)
Reviewers are paid actors tho, aren’t they? Since Google controls the youtube algorithms, they get to push which review ranks in search, featured in homepage, and recommended alongside other reviews. And the reviewers make money from ads which are run by Google themselves.
While some reviewers will likely claime they bought the phone, Google has the resources to reward positive reviews.
tldr: Mainstream reviewers are the last thing to base an opinion on a product.
